Tina also revealed she was very amused by the Quaran-Tina Arena meme which recently went viral.
‘I laughed my head off when I saw it. I’ve always had a sense of humour. Do you think I would have lasted four-and-a-half decades in the music industry without one?’
‘I’d be six feet under the f*cking ground by now!’ the singer added.
